"Do not divert your love from visible things. But go on loving what is good, simple, and ordinary: animals and things and flowers, and keep the balance true." ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

just embarrassed myself by believing a mockingbird’s imitations..

To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.

“when I am safely in the tree / you put your hands together / in the shape of a bowl / or a magnolia” — Dalton Day (@lilghosthands) . . . This poem appeared in Flood-Letting by Dalton Day. Shared here with deep gratitude.

Magnolia lived alongside Dinosaurs! that factoid should be enough to WOW, but that fact they were originally pollinated by beetles because bees had not evolved is something to ponder for a lifetime. 💗
